Palmer’s experience includes over 10 years at Clear-Com, managing sales for Southern Europe and Africa, as well as roles in sales for Audio-Technica and Solid State Logic.

His appointment comes as Nicki Fisher announces her retirement, having served in the EMEA sales director role for Clear-Com since 2014.

During her tenure, she grew sales substantially in the EMEA region and also championed several key industry initiatives related to gender diversity and mentorship.

Fisher will continue in her role as chair of the board of Rise following her retirement.

Chris Willis, senior VP of worldwide sales at Clear-Com said: “Richard’s deep understanding of the audio industry and his track record of growing even well-established channels made him a natural choice for this critical role, further strengthened by his strong interpersonal skills and wicked sense of humor.”

Palmer adds: “I look forward to this opportunity to lead a fantastic team of sales professionals and to discover new opportunities to grow the business of our Partners in the region. Clear-Com is enjoying a period of substantial growth with key new capabilities being released in their product offering, and I’m excited to be part of this growth.”

Palmer will be based in the UK.
